IR-E6 Evolution Series

The IR-E6 Evolution rework system is made in the United Kingdom with only the finest components for optimum precision. The PDR IR-E6 is our largest system and one of the best performing BGA Rework Stations worldwide.

The IR-E6 is very high powered with a multi-zone, PCB preheater and is designed to rework medium to large PCB assemblies with upto a 24”/620mm PCB capacity. It is loaded with advanced features delivering many benefits including the highest performance and soldering quality available anywhere, yet it remains simple to set up and use.

The IR-E6 system is now available in 2 models - the E6S and E6XL. Made in the United Kingdom with only the finest components for optimum precision, the PDR IR-E6 is one of the best performing BGA Rework Stations worldwide.

High Performance

The PDR IR-E6 SMD/BGA rework station, using PDR’s patented Focused IR technology, has been specifically designed to cope with the challenges of repairing today’s PCB assemblies.

The system is tool free, gas free, instantly/precisely controllable, clean, modular, upgradeable and produces 100% yield BGA rework without any complications. It provides the extremely high levels of profiling and process control necessary for the effective rework of even the most advanced packages, including SMDs, BGAs, CSPs, QFNs, Flipchips and is ready for 0201 and lead-free applications.

The IR-E6 is well specified yet can be easily configured to your exact requirements, with a good range of advanced features to choose from, allowing the operator to quickly and safely rework all types of components without overheating the component, adjacents or the PCB. It uses all the proven attributes of PDR’s Focused IR technology, first introduced in 1987 and now used worldwide by over 4500 customers.

The PDR IR-E6 systems are available in 2 models – E6S and E6XL each configured perfectly for their respective roles.

PDR IR-E6 XL

The larger variant of the IR-E6. The IR-E6XL is one of the largest systems out on the market. With board capabilities up to 24” this system features our largest 3200W 3-Zone IR PCB preheating. Designed for optimum control while still being simple, flexible and reliable to use and operate while reworking Large PCB assemblies.

Simple BGA Procedure

BGA rework poses the problem of accessing hidden interconnects in a high density environment. Consequently, it requires a system that is able to access the hidden joints without affecting neighbouring components. A system that is safe, gentle, adaptable and, above all, simple to operate. The IR-E6 is such a system. It is so easy to operate that technicians are able to instantly achieve excellent process control for BGA/SMD rework without the complexities and frustrations normally associated with ‘high-end’ rework systems.

Paste - Place - Reflow

With the aid of excellent mechanics, optics and control, operators can simply pick up the fluxed BGA from the nest, align it, place it onto the PCB’s pads and then reflow with the system’s accurate PC based, closedloop component and PCB temperature control.
